Viewing Notes
FF2017 Day 4/Movie 1: Not a Fantastic Fest without Takashi Miike. BLADE OF THE IMMORTAL brings the big bloody battles in spades but given the source material this would play better as a TV series to spend more time with these characters. Big bloody battle Miike is fine but I miss weird wild Miike. BLADE is straightforward and faithful to manga, maybe to a fault.
